Lawn signs are the most visible part of election season. I've planted (and picked up) hundreds of them in legal places. The old saying "Signs don't vote" is partially true. They have some value and give some sense of where a property owner's sentiments lay. They can get out of hand especially when a property owner decides to have some fun by posting a lot of them including for competing candidates like here.
But illegally placed signs in the street tree median strips (city property) and, say, the Caltrans right of way just demonstrate inexperience. One would think a Caltrans employee would know where the right of way is and not plant his signs on it. Gotta love the Caltrans hard hat in the photo.
